1. I say G3004 then G3767 , Hath G3361 God G2316 cast away G683 his G848 people G2992 ? God forbid G1096 G3361 . For G1063 I G1473 also G2532 am G1510 an Israelite G2475 , of G1537 the seed G4690 of Abraham G11 , of the tribe G5443 of Benjamin G958 .
|
1. I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
|
|
2. God G2316 hath not G3756 cast away G683 his G848 people G2992 which G3739 he foreknew G4267 G2228 . Wot G1492 ye not G3756 what G5101 the G3588 Scripture G1124 saith G3004 of G1722 Elijah G2243 ? how G5613 he maketh intercession G1793 to God G2316 against G2596 Israel G2474 , saying G3004 ,
|
2. God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
|
|
3. Lord G2962 , they have killed G615 thy G4675 prophets G4396 , and G2532 digged down G2679 thine G4675 altars G2379 ; and I G2504 am left G5275 alone G3441 , and G2532 they seek G2212 my G3450 life G5590 .
|
3. Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
|
|
4. But G235 what G5101 saith G3004 the G3588 answer of God G5538 unto him G846 ? I have reserved G2641 to myself G1683 seven thousand G2035 men G435 , who G3748 have not G3756 bowed G2578 the knee G1119 to the image of Baal G896 .
|
4. But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
|
|
5. Even so G3779 then G3767 at G1722 this present G3568 time G2540 also G2532 there is G1096 a remnant G3005 according G2596 to the election G1589 of grace G5485 .
|
5. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
|
|
6. And G1161 if G1487 by grace G5485 , then is it no more G3765 of G1537 works G2041 : otherwise G1893 grace G5485 is G1096 no more G3765 grace G5485 . But G1161 if G1487 it be of G1537 works G2041 , then is G2076 it no more G3765 grace G5485 : otherwise G1893 work G2041 is G2076 no more G3765 work G2041 .
|
6. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
|
|
7. What G5101 then G3767 ? Israel G2474 hath G5127 not G3756 obtained G2013 that which G3739 he seeketh for G1934 ; but G1161 the G3588 election G1589 hath obtained G2013 it, and G1161 the G3588 rest G3062 were blinded G4456 .
|
7. What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
|
|
8. (According as G2531 it is written G1125 , God G2316 hath given G1325 them G846 the spirit G4151 of slumber G2659 , eyes G3788 that they should not G3361 see G991 , and G2532 ears G3775 that they should not G3361 hear G191 ;) unto G2193 this G4594 day G2250 .
|
8. According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
|
|
9. And G2532 David G1138 saith G3004 , Let their G848 table G5132 be made G1096 a G1519 snare G3803 , and G2532 a G1519 trap G2339 , and G2532 a G1519 stumblingblock G4625 , and G2532 a G1519 recompense G468 unto them G846 :
|
9. And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
|
|
10. Let their G848 eyes G3788 be darkened G4654 , that they may not G3361 see G991 , and G2532 bow down G4781 their G848 back G3577 always G1275 .
|
10. Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
|
|
11. I say G3004 then G3767 , Have they G3361 stumbled G4417 that G2443 they should fall G4098 ? God forbid G1096 G3361 : but G235 rather through their G848 fall G3900 salvation G4991 is come unto the G3588 Gentiles G1484 , for to provoke them to jealousy G3863 G846 .
|
11. I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
|
|
12. Now G1161 if G1487 the G3588 fall G3900 of them G848 be the riches G4149 of the world G2889 , and G2532 the G3588 diminishing G2275 of them G848 the riches G4149 of the Gentiles G1484 ; how much G4214 more G3123 their G848 fullness G4138 ?
|
12. Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
|
|
13. For G1063 I speak G3004 to you G5213 Gentiles G1484 , inasmuch as G1909 G3745 G3303 I G1473 am G1510 the apostle G652 of the Gentiles G1484 , I magnify G1392 mine G3450 office G1248 :
|
13. For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
|
|
14. If by any means G1513 I may provoke to emulation G3863 them which are my G3450 flesh G4561 , and G2532 might save G4982 some G5100 of G1537 them G846 .
|
14. If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
|
|
15. For G1063 if G1487 the G3588 casting away G580 of them G846 be the reconciling G2643 of the world G2889 , what G5101 shall the G3588 receiving G4356 of them be, but G1508 life G2222 from G1537 the dead G3498 ?
|
15. For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
|
|
16. For G1161 if G1487 the G3588 firstfruit G536 be holy G40 , the G3588 lump G5445 is also G2532 holy : and G2532 if G1487 the G3588 root G4491 be holy G40 , so G2532 are the G3588 branches G2798 .
|
16. For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
|
|
17. And G1161 if G1487 some G5100 of the G3588 branches G2798 be broken off G1575 , and G1161 thou G4771 , being G5607 a wild olive tree G65 , wert grafted in G1461 among G1722 them G846 , and G2532 with them G1096 partakest G4791 of the G3588 root G4491 and G2532 fatness G4096 of the G3588 olive tree G1636 ;
|
17. And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
|
|
18. Boast not against G2620 G3361 the G3588 branches G2798 . But G1161 if G1487 thou boast G2620 , thou G4771 bearest G941 not G3756 the G3588 root G4491 , but G235 the G3588 root G4491 thee G4571 .
|
18. Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
|
|
19. Thou wilt say G2046 then G3767 , The G3588 branches G2798 were broken off G1575 , that G2443 I G1473 might be grafted in G1461 .
|
19. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
|
|
20. Well G2573 ; because of unbelief G570 they were broken off G1575 , and G1161 thou G4771 standest G2476 by faith G4102 . Be not highminded G5309 G3361 , but G235 fear G5399 :
|
20. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
|
|
21. For G1063 if G1487 God G2316 spared G5339 not G3756 the G3588 natural G2596 G5449 branches G2798 , take heed lest G3381 he also spare G5339 not G3761 thee G4675 .
|
21. For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
|
|
22. Behold G1492 therefore G3767 the goodness G5544 and G2532 severity G663 of God G2316 : on G1909 G3303 them which fell G4098 , severity G663 ; but G1161 toward G1909 thee G4571 , goodness G5544 , if G1437 thou continue in G1961 his goodness G5544 : otherwise G1893 thou G4771 also G2532 shalt be cut off G1581 .
|
22. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
|
|
23. And G1161 they G1565 also G2532 , if they abide not G3362 G1961 still in unbelief G570 , shall be grafted in G1461 : for G1063 God G2316 is G2076 able G1415 to graft them in G1461 G846 again G3825 .
|
23. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
|
|
24. For G1063 if G1487 thou G4771 wert cut G1581 out G1537 of the G3588 olive tree which is wild G65 by G2596 nature G5449 , and G2532 wert grafted G1461 contrary G3844 to nature G5449 into G1519 a good olive tree G2565 : how much G4214 more G3123 shall these G3778 , which G3588 be the natural G2596 G5449 branches, be grafted into G1461 their own G2398 olive tree G1636 ?
|
24. For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
|
|
25. For G1063 I would G2309 not G3756 , brethren G80 , that ye G5209 should be ignorant G50 of this G5124 mystery G3466 , lest G3363 ye should be G5600 wise G5429 in G3844 your own conceits G1438 ; that G3754 blindness G4457 in G575 part G3313 is happened G1096 to Israel G2474 , until G891 G3757 the G3588 fullness G4138 of the G3588 Gentiles G1484 be come in G1525 .
|
25. For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
|
|
26. And G2532 so G3779 all G3956 Israel G2474 shall be saved G4982 : as G2531 it is written G1125 , There shall come G2240 out of G1537 Zion G4622 the G3588 Deliverer G4506 , and G2532 shall turn away G654 ungodliness G763 from G575 Jacob G2384 :
|
26. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
|
|
27. For G2532 this G3778 is G3844 my G1700 covenant G1242 unto them G846 , when G3752 I shall take away G851 their G848 sins G266 .
|
27. For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
|
|
28. As concerning G2596 G3303 the G3588 gospel G2098 , they are enemies G2190 for your sakes G1223 G5209 : but G1161 as touching G2596 the G3588 election G1589 , they are beloved G27 for the fathers' sakes G1223 G3588 G3962 .
|
28. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
|
|
29. For G1063 the G3588 gifts G5486 and G2532 calling G2821 of God G2316 are without repentance G278 .
|
29. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
|
|
30. For G1063 as G5618 ye G5210 in times past G4218 have G2532 not believed G544 God G2316 , yet G1161 have now G3568 obtained mercy G1653 through their G5130 unbelief G543 :
|
30. For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
|
|
31. Even so G3779 have these G3778 also G2532 now G3568 not believed G544 , that G2443 through your G5212 mercy G1656 they G846 also G2532 may obtain mercy G1653 .
|
31. Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
|
|
32. For G1063 God G2316 hath concluded G4788 them all G3956 in G1519 unbelief G543 , that G2443 he might have mercy G1653 upon all G3956 .
|
32. For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
|
|
33. O G5599 the depth G899 of the riches G4149 both G2532 of the wisdom G4678 and G2532 knowledge G1108 of God G2316 ! how G5613 unsearchable G419 are his G848 judgments G2917 , and G2532 his G848 ways G3598 past finding out G421 !
|
33. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
|
|
34. For G1063 who G5101 hath known G1097 the mind G3563 of the Lord G2962 ? or G2228 who G5101 hath been G1096 his G848 counselor G4825 ?
|
34. For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
|
|
35. Or G2228 who G5101 hath first given G4272 to him G846 , and G2532 it shall be recompensed G467 unto him G846 again?
|
35. Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
|
|
36. For G3754 of G1537 him G846 , and G2532 through G1223 him G846 , and G2532 to G1519 him G846 , are all things G3956 : to whom G846 be glory G1391 forever G1519 G165 . Amen G281 .
|
36. For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
